GM's thread about nothing (66 Viewers)

[Josie Maran]

Poor Guster. Went from having this awesome road trip with Thorn and Rude planned to pretty much flying solo from Cincinnati to Beerhole. :(

wait, what?

there's an outing called beerhole. it will take place in Milwaukee over an upcoming weekend. Guster lives in Cincinnati. Thorn was going to fly to Cincinnati and they were going to drive together to Milwaukee, while also picking me up along the way.Then I changed my plans to join SLB on the train and Thorn booked a direct flight to Milwaukee. Now Guster has nobody to drive with unless Shuke feels comfortable leaving his wife with the babysitter.

Pretty sure this is the part of the show where Homer finds a reason to get out of bed.

No f###ing way, dude.

But, beer. And lots of itPretty sure I can pull some strings and get Miller to let you swim in your own vat of Lite.

Can you just ship me the vat?

oh

Do you read this thread?

Sporadically since vacation and my return. A Bobby Sac recap would be very helpful here. I knew about Beerhole, just haven't followed along with the logistics of the star players.

Think I've mentioned this before, but we currently lease the back of our warehouse the a toy manufacturer who also launched this line of shoes (my daughter loves hers and refuses to wear any other pair of shoes). The man behind the company has a new idea. He ran it by me today. Get a load of this....From an email he sent our leasing agent:

I just mentioned this to Forrest and his boss but we thought it might be best to ping you for a usage question.

I have worked on a number of design projects across a number of sectors. One sector which we have had a bit of success in is for the design and build of novelty shaped alcohol bottles. Currently a customer has requested that rather than just supply them with the bottles that we consider importing and stocking the bottles in our warehouse and fill ( hand fill against orders) spirits such as vodka, bourbon or blended American whiskey.

We are early on in this inquiry regarding the filling component but the design portion is complete and we are moving towards creating prototypes which means we are opening custom tooling overseas for a custom glass bottle and that looks like it will be moving into production within the next month.

Before we consider filling at this location, I just wanted to determine if this type of activity would be acceptable at this location. The permitting process should take 60-90 days and would require that we register with the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau which oversees these processes.

The process itself is simply taking a liquid from a big container to a smaller container and sealing the case, but arguably it could be perceived as something bigger. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts

WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

To make up for Guster going exclusive, I have dates with five different women: tonight, tomorrow (2), Friday and Tuesday. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be stabbed by the end of next week.

do you take notes so you can remember their stories and what you told them or do your second dates have a lot of "you asked me that last time" and "I thought you said you were supposed to be in afghanistan"

Bravo. Might be the best one yet.

Now what's up with these Croc toes?

 

[Mr.Pack]

So I might be out of a job soon.

They are restructuring my division and making it a Center of Technology. The 3 year long project I've been working in has been shut down, as have all new projects.

We are now considered a Global Resource for Technology.

Sure it sounds great on the surface, but I'm a CAD Designer, not Software, Hardware, or Communications.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Unrelated, but pooping with the door open is way more enjoyable than it should be.

haven't had a door on the bathroom in years

Wait, what?

 

[Mr.Pack]

Beerhole needs more Shuke, Homer, GM, Uni and many others. Got spoiled by Coshole.

I want to really badly. I just don't think it would be right with the way my wife is doing.

We finally broke down and hired a sitter to come over about 20-25 hours a week during the summer.

This is so clutch, brother. Mrs. O was completely losing her #### with my daughters and just had no help (and I was working and traveling a bunch). We got on SitterCity and found this amazing girl, she comes over M-W-F for full days as of right now. Allows my wife to actually get things done around the house, get out and do things for herself now and then, or just take out the 3yo to the town pool or something while leaving the baby at home, etc. Totally more civilized life and she's been like a new person the past couple weeks. Hopefully you're having the same experience.

At some point Mrs. O wants to cut back from 3 days, because she feels like a real princess being a stay at home mom and having help those days, but I've told her I don't care what it costs, if it brings sanity to our house, it's worth every penny.

GLGB

This is actually just as much for me as it is for her. I just can't do everything. I'm sure there are single moms out there that would roll their eyes at that, but coming home with my wife on the couch with her head covered in ice packs, the kids out of control, a pile of dishes in the sink, and looking at having to cook/clean and get the kids to be was doing a number on me.

GLGB

Just wondering, I don't recall if this has been brought up or not, but has your wife seen a chiropractor? I just heard today they can do wonders for people with migraines.

 

[krista4]

OK, I know in a thread full of guys I might not get much help, but YSR is here and some of you are good at planning events and such...

Last July, my mom turned 70 and also had her 25th anniversary with my stepfather. I planned to take them on a big trip (safari or such), but then with the getting rid of all my possessions and moving to a third-world country it didn't happen. After throwing out a bunch of ideas this year, my mom told me they'd really rather come out to WA/OR to visit because she has visited all other states but those and Alaska. I've bought them first-class airfare, set up great places to go and cool places to stay, have someone with an "in" at a bunch of wineries who has set us up with private tastings, planned a hi-falutin' bday dinner, etc. They don't really know about any of this other than the flights.

Their trip out here spans not only her birthday but their anniversary, and Mr. krista had the idea of cooking them a crazy "Big Night"-type dinner (Big Night the movie) of a squillion courses. As we planned the menu, it expanded into something where we* are going to make each course have some connection to events or people in their lives, but with the courses "gussied up" a bit. For instance, my mom's mom was known for her chicken & dumplings, which will now be "duck & dumplings" with seared duck rillons, sweet potato gnocchi and roasted duck veloute. I'm going to pair each course with a wine/port or cocktail.

tl;dr Here's my question: what else can we do to make the night crazy-special? We are not planning to eat with them but just to serve. We are going to make a playlist of all their favorite music and have that going. I'm going to get a printer to do some fancy menus. Obviously flowers, tablecloths, candles, condoms.** What else could we do?

*"We" will cook in that I will be in charge of the one dish that will remain unchanged: my grandma's strawberry cake.

**One of these is not serious.

Strippers.

 

[kevzilla]

My phone's screen went sideways last night. I can sorta see the top third of the screen, but none of it is responsive to touch. I can't even turn the accursed thing off.

A new one will arrive tomorrow, at the cost of $150. I don't know if the insurance saved me any money, and I'm too tired to put a pencil to it. Our software change, which goes live on Tuesday, takes all of my energy. I'll probably doze off in my computer chair soon.

Or something small from each of the anniversary gift year substances (wood, paper, aluminum, whatever those things are).

Not unitl year 69, according to Hallmark.

You could probably make an argument for year 3(leather) or maybe year 13(lace). Depends on your flavor of stripper, I guess.
